Question about acne : ( ?

Question

I have oily skin and fairly bad acne.

School starts next month and it would be nice to have a clear(er) face.

Does anyone here that has oily skin know about products or have tips on how to clear this acne up?

It's so frustrating!

thanks for reading

Answer 1

well if your skin is oily, toothpaste and loads of water, will help, may dry skin a little, but it will be worth it, just drink loads of water, and rub toothpaste over your skin, and leave it on over nite

Answer 2

I agree with Andy..organic is the way to go.  There are so many herbs out there that help with acne.  I get mine from rose mountain herbs. I have been using it for 3 years. Or you can research, and make your own.

Products with burdock, red clover, tea tree,neem are just a few that have worked well for me!

Answer 3

I find using only the proactiv cleanser works well. My acne was clearing up remarkably and my skin was shine free! It was awesome! Also go see the doctor. That what i did and she gave me antibiotics that work really well. Good luck! ;)

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

From my experience with oily skin and pimples, my recommendation would be to use a moisturizer for oily skin, a good one would be Zenmed's Sebum Regulating Moisturizer. This moisturizer is completely herbal and helps maintain and control optimum oil levels on the skin, and prevent the clogging of pores. The moisturizer works great to maintain acne free skin while not stripping all the moisture from your skin. So your skin is left smooth and clear with neither it looking too dry or oily.

We all know that oily skin does cause breakouts than any other skin and so I would advise you to drink lots of water and avoid too much of oily and junk food. Using this moisturizer it will help you to maintain acne free skin without your skin losing all its moisture.

For treating your present acne, you can try their derma cleanse acne gel, it will help you to clear acne off quickly and unclog the pores of dirt and bacteria. Once your acne has gone you could only use the moisturizer which will help to keep away oil and acne from your skin.

Answer 7

You should probably go to your doctor so he can give you some pimple medicine.

I went to my doctor recently and he told me to wash my face twice a day (once in the morning then again before I got to bed) with some type of acne soap, I use neutrogena, and then apply the acne cream, that he gave me, after wards. He said it should take about 4 weeks for it to disappear but it should work.

Answer 8

There are a few quick ways..

Everyday wash with a bar of soap. (safeguard is a good brand)

Also Once a day, whenever your skin is at peak oilyness use a cottonball and clear it away with rubbing alcohol and then wash it with the soap..

You should notice result after about a week.. but be patient!

Once this starts to work either keep one with it or find a good facial cleanser, one that focusses on oily or sensative skin.

Good luck!

Answer 13

I have oily skin too, and have the same problem. :(  Though it has been clearing up when i put (this may sound weird) sugar in my cleanser. It scrubs away dead skin, so your skin looks better already.  (Though just to warn you, it will look red at first, so do it before bed..etc) Also use cleanser designed for oily skin. Hope it works!

Answer 14

Try Proactiv, I am using it and I had fairly bad acne. I don't suggest ordering it on the phone or over the internet though because the images are misleading. The kit I bought cost $100 and has lasted me for about 4 1/2 months. I bought it from a stand at a local mall. If you want more information, message me and I'll try and help you. I know the boat you're in! Good luck!

Hope I helped!

Answer 15

Try clean and clear's morning burst shine control!

Answer 16

Neutrogena power clear scrub =]

Pretty cheap, works great.

And even though you have oily skin,

Answer 18

apply proactive or benzoyl peroxide 2.5 or cream that contains or salicylic acid its very effective for acne and pimples…

drink 8-10 glasses of water

Crush mint leaves to extract the juices. Apply the juice to your face every night. This acne home remedy also the tooth paste works too. To remove the redness apply the eye drops which reduces the redness I think its called Visine it instantly removes the redness.

apply ice to your face regularly it closes the pores so that would definitely reduce the acne breakout

Answer 23

Try Neutrogena Acne Stress control.

From the sounds of it, you have the exact same problems I have.

What is so great about this stuff is that it doesn't dry out your skin, like Proactiv did for me. I use the Cream Cleanser, and the 3-in-1 Hydration Acne Solution, and it works amazingly. I have only been using it for a week, and already my acne is 90% gone. Not kidding. I love this stuff. :) Plus it reduces redness, so the appearance of really bad acne goes away almost immediately.  

Answer 24

the best thing i have ever done is visited my doctor!!

go go go, don't be embarrassed or ashamed, its so common and you will be so thankful afterwards!  

Answer 25

I WILL TELL YOU HOW TO GET CLEAR SKIN FAST.

You will have to follow these instructions EXACTLY, even though they may make you feel silly/feminine.

It WILL work. I promise.

1. Mix together plain yogurt and tomato juice. If you don't have yogurt, use sour cream or butter milk. If you don't have tomato juice, use tomato soup or tomato paste.

2. Wash your face with the tomato/dairy mixture, making sure to rub it into your skin completely. Then apply another coat of this mixture, and allow it to stay on your face until it dries. Rinse clean. You will notice that washing your face with the tomato/dairy mixture seems to get your skin cleaner than anything else. This is because it contains both glycolic and lactic acids which penetrate the skins surface and remove dirt, oil, and debris.

3. Apply rubbing alcohol to your face with a cotton ball. This will remove any other impurities or infections from your skin. It may burn a little. This is normal and temporary.

4. Once your face is clean, fill up your sink with fairly warm water. Not too hot, or else you'll burn your skin. Then soak your face in the water for 5-10 minutes, (make sure to take sporadic breaths-you're trying to get rid of your acne, not drown yourself.)  This opens up your facial pores and reduces oiliness.

5. Next, beat a raw egg and using your hands, apply it to your pimples and/or clogged pores. This seems COMPLETELY ridiculous, I know, but it will unclog your pores so that you don't have to squeeze them. Wait about 10 minutes for the egg to dry, then wash it off. (It is very important that you stay away from your mother during this step, or else she'll think you've gone completely mad.)

6. Wet a washcloth with cold water and apply it to your skin. Your pores are now completely clean, and this tightens them and prevents them from becoming clogged again.

7. This step sounds like it will undo everything you've been trying to accomplish, but it's crucial, trust me. Dip a cotton ball in olive oil and massage it into your face until your skin feels slightly moist, not greasy. One thing people don't realize is that skin often produces more oil because of over-zealous washing, and that is it's natural way of compensating from the resulting dryness. Proper moisturizing will not clog your pores or make your skin oily. Instead, it will train your skin not to produce so much excess oil. YOU MUST MOISTURIZE.

Repeat this process once a week until your acne is completely gone, which should be in about a month or two.

You can use tomato and yogurt in place of your normal cleanser, (it works great, trust me.) Natural, homemade ingredients are better for fighting acne because they aren't as harsh as things like SeaBreeze.

Remember, these products may speed healing of your existing pimples, but they will actually cause you to gain more acne by drying out your skin.
